It turns out my antagonist was a "
keyboard commando." However, this threat made this incident, to me, personal.
Not
keyboard commandoes, thank you, but the people who actually fight the bad guys first-hand.
The only "industry experts" disappointed in the show were
keyboard commandos who forecasted the show would be a "downer." Their predictions were based on the significant downturn in business last year, which, they said, would impact SHOT Show.
Some so-called
keyboard commandoes who say, "We don\'t want peace, we want revenge" from the comfort of their easy chairs do nothing but generate a laughable sense of false heroism; these people generally seek to ease their consciences by saying, "I did not remain silent" yet they are not facing shelling and neither are they in danger in an active war zone.
